Officials in Washington had tended to dismiss most of these moves as propaganda ploys. They noted that the Sandinista decrees specifically rule out any participation by counterrevolutionary guerrilla leaders in the electoral process as well as by anyone who had invited "foreign intervention" in Nicaragua. That, of course, meant that the varied factions of armed contra insurgents, most of whom have been fighting the government with ill-concealed CIA support, would be left out in the cold. Washington also says it considers the promise of elections in 1985 all too vague...
Andropov's gesture was at least partly a well-timed propaganda move meant to forestall the imminent test of the first U.S. ASAT missile. The Soviets are also playing on West European skittishness; NATO allies worry about space weapons "decoupling" U.S. and European strategic interests. "There is concern in Europe that this [technology] portends a 'fortress America,' " says Jonathan Alford of London's International Institute for Strategic Studies. "It tends toward the protection of the U.S. and the exposure of Western Europe." Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger flew to Paris last week to reassure the French...

In an attempt to lure the Unionists back into the Assembly, Prior also invited four of Northern Ireland's political parties to talks on security. Meanwhile, in a radio interview, the Prime Minister of the Irish Republic, Garret Fitzgerald, a Catholic, seemed close to tears...
...Grenada, as some of the 6000 American troops began withdrawing from the island. Indeed, the Pentagon completed most of its military objectives on the first few days of the two-week war. Meanwhile, our embarrassed European allies deplored the invasion; our delighted adversaries quickly racked up much-needed propaganda points. The legality of U.S. intervention will remain forever unresolved, the battle lines fiercely drawn along ideological lines. Perhaps now is the time to distance ourselves from this bickering and begin to examine the future of Grenada. Will it exist under a truly democratic government, or will it eventually emerge...
